Day 100!

Hello Blog Buddies,
Today is day 100. I start reducing my meds slowly and allowing my own immune system to develop. This is a dangerous time and there are a lot of things my body needs to do if I am to recover from the transplant. I need to change over to my donors blood type, I need to fight the dreaded graft vs host disease which may rear it's scary head when the drugs are reduced, and I need to develop an immune system. The Graft vs Host disease may occur anywhere in the body and do a little or a lot of damage.It's a toss of the dice. That's one of the reasons for all of the tests. The quicker they find it, the quicker they can deal with it. My plan is to keep eating right, exercise regularly and juice more regularly. I'll also be meditating, visioning and praying like mad. We did some EMDR on it today which is very helpful. It's good to know I have your support and prayers too- I need them more than ever.
In the struggle!
Beryl

  6. Just think about how 100 days from now this will all be a distant memory. You are doing things right so I know your new blood will kick ass. We are getting our patio ready for our big (and I mean BIG) movie night by the pool. Un abrazo.

    Okay, Beryl's body - time to really kick it into high gear. Are you playing the soundtrack from Rocky for your body? Go to iTunes and download it - play it while you visualize....hear the music...there goes your new immune system running up those stairs with it's little immune system arms above it head. :)

    Prayers, light and healing energy flowing your way!!!

    Love
